NASA plans relevant to the study of circumstellar matter [PDF]
The Astrophysics program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States emphasizes use of vehicles to obtain above-the-atmosphere observational advantages, including expanded electromagnetic frequency access, enhanced sensitivity resulting from reduced or eliminated atmospheric absorption of light and image smearing.

Zeeman tomography of magnetic white dwarfs. IV, The complex field structure of the polars EF Eridani, BL Hydri and CP Tucanae [PDF]
Context. The magnetic fields of the accreting white dwarfs in magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) determine the accretion geometries, the emission properties, and the secular evolution of these objects. Aims.

Radiative Acceleration of Dense Circumstellar Material in Interacting Supernovae
Early-time light curves/spectra of some hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe) provide solid evidence of the existence of confined, dense circumstellar matter (CSM) surrounding dying massive stars. We numerically and analytically study the radiative acceleration

The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS)
Context. Asymmetries in debris discs provide unique clues to understand the evolution and architecture of planetary systems. Previous studies of debris discs at (sub)millimetre wavelengths have suggested the presence of asymmetries in a wide variety of ...

The extended atmosphere and circumstellar environment of the cool evolved star VX Sagittarii as seen by MATISSE [PDF]
Context. VX Sgr is a cool, evolved, and luminous red star whose stellar parameters are difficult to determine, which affects its classification. Aims: We aim to spatially resolve the photospheric extent as well as the circumstellar environment.

Diagnostic of the Symbiotic Stars Environment by Thomson, Raman and Rayleigh Scattering Processes
Symbiotic stars are long-period interacting binaries consisting of a cool giant as the donor star and a white dwarf as the acretor. Due to acretion of the material from the giant’s stellar wind, the white dwarf becomes very hot and luminous.

Multi-periodic photospheric pulsations and connected wind structures in HD64760
We report on the results of an extended optical spectroscopic monitoring campaign on the early-type B supergiant HD 64760 (B0.5 Ib) designed to probe the deep-seated origin of spatial wind structure in massive stars.

The complex circumstellar environment of HD 142527 [PDF]
Context. The recent findings of gas giant planets around young A-type stars suggest that disks surrounding Herbig Ae/Be stars will develop planetary systems.

Circumstellar matter as detected by IRAS - Some systematics [PDF]
Most of the sources noted by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite are, as expected, more or less normal cool giant stars, but a very large number of objects of earlier spectral type were also picked up. These cases must involve, in a variety of ways, circumstellar gas and dust.

Circumstellar matter in the binary V Puppis
Results are reported for Copernicus observations of the double-lined binary V Puppis in the wavelength region from 1155 to 1310 A with a resolution of 0.2 A. The sharp-lined UV absorption spectrum is found to provide a line of sight dominated by an apparently 'textbook' H II region in a Stromgren sphere surrounding the stars. Several characteristics of
